The
Spring deo n up
Here's some buying tips
By: W. E. (Doc) Hartnoll, FRHS
The month of May to the home
gardener is like the start of the
gardener's New Year - everything
is coming alive 'and looking well.
Most plants have taken the winter
in stride; however, you've
helped. Mulching after the
ground froze was one of the best
things you would have done to
prevent heaving during freezing
and thawing. But that's served
the purpose and now you want to
remove the protective winter
, mulch. If the weather remains
unsettled, it's wise to gently
remove the covering from around
the plants, but not entirely. Then
it can be replaced in case of snap
frosts.
Rose growers visiting nurseries

American Rose Selection (AARS)
winners might be disappointed.
These new introductions are
usually presold. However, look or

It's that time of year when
we're busy fixing up the house
and all that goes witkit. It also
happens to be the season when a
few "bad apples" pop up from
nowhere to call themselves home
improvement firms. Let's face it -
most home improvement
companies are reliable and trust-
worthy. You can make a distinc-
tion between the good and the
bad if you take the time to ask
yourself these questions before
you sign on the dotted line
1. Do you know your sales-
man's name and address of the
almpany?
2. Before you sign the contract,
have you checked on the reputa:
tion, dependability and respon-
sibility of the firm?
3. Have you asked the company
for references and have you found
them to be satisfactory?
4. Did the salesman try to
"high pressure" you into signing
a contract?.
5. Did you get the pitch that
your home would be used for
advertising purposes and that for
this you would be given a special
low price? -- Don't fall for it.
6. Have you obtained more
than one bid on the same job on
exactly. the same specifications?
7. Does the firm provide
liability and compensation
insut.:Ance to protect you in the
event of an accident?
8. Will the firm be able to fulfill
that 10 or 15 year guarantee?
Will they still be in business?
9. Do you knoiv how much the
entire job will cost including the
interest and service charges?
10. Have you checked all
possible sources of financing and
compared them?
11. If the work is sublet, will the
contractors post a bond to protect
you against liens on your home?
12. Are the quality, brand or
grade and the weight, colour and
size of materials to be used
specified in the contract?
13. Have you read and do 'you
Properly pruned roses will pro-
dUce attractive flowers-and strong
cane growth for several years.
Although individual varieties
differ, most are pruned in Spring
before bushes leaf out. Some
climbing and rambling types are
best pruned in September,
though:
The first step is cutting out
weak and dead canes, leaving
three to five stems. The popular
hybrid tea roses can be pruned
back to within six inches of the
ground with three or more buds
remaining on each stem. Flori-
bundas are pruned similarly but
not as severely. Vigorous grow,-
ing glandiflora roses can be
pruned back to about one foot
from the ground. For larger
bushes with more blooms, the
stems should be left longer. For
exhibition blooms the stems
should be cut back severely
leaving one or two short canes.
Even though these are peren-
nial plants, they require fertiliz-
ing and I've found that regular
applications of rose food during
the growing season give the
plants just the proper amount of
understand the contract com-
pletely - don't sign it until you do.
Retain a complete copy.
14. Does the contract cover
labour or materials or both?
15. Are you asked to pay in
advance or to pay cash to a
salesman instead of by cheque or
money order to the company
itself?
16. Does the contract stipulate
the date on which work is to begin
and a specified date for comple-
tion?
Never sign a completion certifi-
cate until all the work called for in
the contract fras been completed.
It is a declaration on your part
that as far as you are concerned,
the work as outlined • in the
contract has been fulfilled and
that you are satisfied with it. If
everything is not to your satisfac-
tion - don't sign a - completion
certificate.

nutrients it needs.
Spray for Scales
If you did not have time to
apply a dormant spray in late
winter, then it would be wise to
spray your trees and shrubs to
control insects. This includes
lilacs as well. - First, check all
plants for the various types of
scale. The oystershell scale, a
mass of small oyster-like shells on
the bark of a plant, often attacks
certain flowering shrubs, particu-
larly lilac. The reddish-brown
lecanium scales are 'Usually found
on the undersides, of twigs on
trees and shrubs such as stone
fruits, Spy apple, oak, ash, taxus
and white cedar. Nearly all woody
trees and shrubs are susceptible
to the San Jose scale. This
ash-brown to black insect is flat
and circular, about the size of a
pinhead. .
Use 50 per cent Malathion
emulsion as the manufacturer
recommends. This should be
applied now and perhaps again
June 1-15 to control oystershell
and San Jose scale. For lecaniuni
crawlers thorough spraying July
10-20 should control these scales.
